Separate reports claim more than 60 Afghan civilians were killed in the attacks.
The Daily Wire reports:
More than 60 people have been killed in multiple terrorist attacks at the airport in Kabul on Thursday, including at least 10 U.S. soldiers, according to multiple reports.
The Wall Street Journal that “at least 60 Afghans” were killed in the terrorist attacks at the airport, while Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin reported live on air that at least 10 U.S. soldiers were killed in the attacks.
Griffin later tweeted that U.S. officials believe that the number of U.S. soldiers that have died is expected to rise. Another Fox News reporter added that “dozens” more were injured in the attacks.
So far, President Biden has yet to address the national and there is no clear timetable for when he plans to do so.
